Stephen fleming on ms dhoni batting position: MS Dhoni has had to be very trolled due to his batting order recently. He came to bat in the ninth order in the match against RCB, which was said to be the main reason for the defeat of Chennai Super Kings. At the same time, in the match against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni came to bat on the seventh order, but could not save the team from the defeat of 6 runs. Dhoni was also seen batting at number 7-8 continuously last season. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has issued a big statement amid criticisms about the batting order.

Dhoni’s body is answering …

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming spoke on the necklace against Rajasthan Royals during the media. Along with this, he also told that Dhoni’s knees have now started responding and it is not possible for him to bat for 10 overs continuously. This is a main reason for batting on their lower order.

Stephen Fleming said, “MS Dhoni himself decides on his batting order. His body and knee are not as healthy as they used to be. Other batsmen keep giving opportunity. “

Has Dhoni become a burden on CSK

MS Dhoni is 43 years old and plays very few balls at the time of batting. On the question of Dhoni’s CSK team becoming a burden on the CSK team, Fleming said, “I had said this last year, Dhoni’s importance is very high for us. He is a leader and his role is also important from the point of view of wicketkeeping. Sending him to the 9th-10th over, he has hardly done so. So look at it from the perspective of 13-14 overs, Dhoni assesses who is playing?”

Shane watson on ms dhoni batting position: Last Friday, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs. In this clash, when CSK needed to score fast, Ravichandran Ashwin was sent for batting. There has been a debate on social media about the batting order that MS Dhoni’s arrival for batting on the 9th order has caused Chennai’s defeat.

MS Dhoni made a big mistake

While discussing Jio Hotstar, Shane Watson said, “CSK fans actually come to see that Dhoni played an innings of 30 runs in 16 balls. I personally want to see him batting on the upper order. I believe that he should have come for batting before Ravichandran Ashwin. Looking at the situation, Dhoni, 15 balls and the same manner.”

CSK lost due to Dhoni?

Shane Watson also said that if Dhoni had come to batting above, the chances of winning the Chennai Super Kings would have increased. He said that the fours and sixes Dhoni hit and sixes would obviously like the audience. But if Dhoni had come to bat first, CSK could have gone to win. Dhoni hit 3 fours and 2 sixes during the innings of 30 runs in 16 balls.
